Modric to Real Madrid

Deal is close to being finalized, I think it's safe to say Little Luka will be with Ronaldo next season.

Everyone tells me Real has too many midfielders so I hope that Luka will start, but I do not understand why you buy someone for 35 million pounds and then you do not start him.

Luka has never played with anyone of Ronaldo's level so I am excited to see them hook up.

I think he's better suited for the Spanish game because he has the glue on his boots, great handles on the ball and he can do the technical game, short passes, he's very quick. He has had success in England but he is a small guy and the EPL is a tough, physical league. It's good for him to move to Spain where his skills will be magnified by the playstyle.

Guy is not overrated, he just doesn't have a lot to work with so a big share of the chances he creates are wasted.

Wait until he's feeding Ronaldo and the other guys at Real, guys that know what to do with the ball in front of goal.

He doesn't make mistakes. Easily one of the best midfielders in Euro 2012, but Croatia did not have so many weapons up front to make use of his talents.

Doesnt have a lot to work with? I watch the EPL every week as its my fave sport. Spurs are all attack. Bale, VDV, Adebayor, Saha, Krancjar, Lennon. Didnt have a lot to work with?
Modric wouldnt even start for Madrid, no idea why they would want him.
He was terrible at Euro 2012

i watched every single game of Euro 2012.
most Spurs fans i know arent even worried that Modric wants out. He is not in the same class as VDV and Bale. They are more worried about VDV leaving then Modric

Dont know anything about soccer? Well the answer for why Real wouldnt offer that money for Bale or VDV for fairly obvious reasons. Bale plays on the left, they have Ozil and Di Maria and VDV is over 30. They need a CAM and he isnt old.... go figure

Bale is way better then Modric lol. Barcelona wanted Bale and offered that amount

It's mind-boggling that you would say Modric sucked at Euros. If you did actually watch the tournament, I can't come to any other conclusion than that you don't understand soccer. Anyone that watched the Croatia games would tell you that Modric was by far Croatia's best player.

Spain's toughest game of the entire tournament was the Croatia game and Modric was the main cause of their difficulties.
